The Other Memphis College Football Team

Many Memphians seem to forget their are two NCAA football teams in the city. Everyone is well aware of Saturdays (and sometimes weeknights) at the Liberty Bowl with the Tigers, but the same cannot be said of the Lynx. Rhodes College opens up their 2009 campaign this weekend against Westminster (MO) College at Fargason Field located on the Rhodes campus.

Head Coach Joe White, entering his 13th season with the Rhodes, is regrouping his squad after a disappointing 4-6 season. This was the first losing season for the Lynx since 2005. White will be counting on junior linebacker Andrew Meier to lead the defense and senior running back Tom McMurray to guide the offense.

If you are looking for a low-cost, fun football afternoon, head to Midtown and checkout a game. Kickoff this weekend is set for 1pm.
